If this is a pure C question, the answer is that you have to create a symbol table of the functions you need to lookup and search for them yourselves. If this is a question to C on (certain) Unix implementations, then you could try starting with the manual page for ldopen. It will point you to a family of routines that cope with object files, symbol tables etc. but I guess it is not really what you want. -- Bjorn Engsig, ORACLE Corporation, E-mail: bengsig@oracle.com, bengsig@oracle.nl "Stepping in others footsteps, doesn't bring you ahead"
